It was lunch break and Grayson was seated besides Ethan at the table they always sat. With Jack and Aaron at the other side of the table, they talked about the last math test, but Grayson couldn't help but glance around for April whom he hasn't seen the whole day.
Where could she be? He whispered to himself. He did get that she was preparing herself for the "big reveal", but he was dying to see her.
'Oh, thanks. Here bro, another note.' Ethan whispered as he nudged his daydreaming brother. As Grayson unfolded the little piece of paper, reads the exact same note, except there was no tomorrow on it. Maybe it was a reminder?
The day flew by. After playing basketball with some guys for two hours, Grayson took a shower and prepared himself for what he liked to call, "the big reveal". Although he already knew it was April, he was still excited.
How would she say it?
Would she come a little later to build suspense?
Would she have food? Grayson chuckled at his last thought, his love for food was big, but not as big as his secret crush he just discovered.
At 5.28 Grayson walked to the back of the tribune, with Kid Cudi playing in the back of his pocket. The air was filled with romantic colors of pink, orange, purple and blue. The best timing.
As expected, she came a little later than noted. He heard the shuffling sound of shoes and the rocks, it made him smile immediately.
'Close your eyes.' A soft whisper demanded, so he did, the big smile on his face not leaving. He felt shaky fingertips on his chest, making him jump a little, and before he knew it, he felt two soft lips touch his. He opened his eyes the same time as the lips touch his, it just didn't feel right. That's when he saw it was Olivia who kissed him, her dark blond hair neatly curled, her curves hugged by an bodycon dress, but an pained expression on her face.
'I can explain!'
'Sorry I'm late, I was..' Both at the same time spoken, making confused Grayson look behind him. There he saw an as confused April with a pizza box in her hands.
'Wait, wait, wait, I'm really confused right now.' Grayson speaks up as he takes steps back from Olivia whom is covering her face in shame. 'Who wrote those notes?'
'I did.'
'She did!' The two girls answer in unison. 'But, why were you kissing me? Or trying to.' Grayson asks, a little ruder than meant.
'Better question, why did you come?' April asks, circling the place, meaning the rendezvous.
'I.. I saw you typing it into your phone on your to-do list and.. I like Grayson too, so I gave him the note yesterday to reveal my secret too and I just couldn't resist, I'm so sorry A.' Olivia rushed her words as if a gun was aimed at her head. 'I'm really sorry I-'
'Shut up, please.' April interrupted her while holding one hand up and facing away. An awkward silence lingers between the three kids, until April found her voice again. 'That's why you were so excited to help me huh? So you could release some of your steam too?' Olivia shamefully nodded while looking down. Grayson stood frozen in silence, watching the fight kn front of him between two close friends. There were girls fighting over him?
'I-I'll just leave, I'm really sorry.' Olivia whispered before walking away. Both April and Grayson were left dumbfounded in an awkward silence as they watched Olivia walk away with her head down in shame.
Minutes passed by and the only sound that was heard, was Kid Cudi, the wind and the rumbling stomach of Grayson who finally acknowledged the pizza.
'Sorry, I haven't ate yet.' Grayson chuckled awkwardly as he rubbed the back of his neck. He didn't know what to do after the fight. If it didn't happen, he wouldn't be so awkward, he knows it for sure.
'I euh, I brought your favorite pizza, p-pineapple. Here.' April handed Grayson the box, their hands touching slighty. She tries so hard not to show him her smile as she turns to walk away, only stumble on her own two feet. Luckily for her, Grayson managed to hook his arm around her middle to get her back on her feet, not letting the box go for one second.
'Thank you..' April thanks him breathlessly, she couldn't help but gulp at the small distance between their bodies, their faces even closer.
'Thank you for sweet notes and pizza.' Grayson chuckled, his eyes darting at her lips for a second before looking deeply into her eyes, a smug grin growing onto his face. The awkward silence turned into a more pleasant one. As the lamppost turn on, they both look up shockingly before chuckling at looking back at each other.
April bit her lip to hold back a laugh, and maybe to seduce him a little. She'll never know where she got the confidence to say: 'Oh just kiss me already.' And to lean in, but she did, the same time Grayson muttered 'Fuck' and leaned in as well.
The soft touch of Grayson's lips on April's is what she imagined and even more. A whole zoo breaks out in the tummy's of both Grayson and April as they try to hold back a laugh. April's hands went through Grayson's hair as he let go of the pizza box and pulled April closer to his chest. Eventually they ran out of breath and let go of each other, letting a chuckle roll over their plumped lips before reaching over for each others lips again.
